Lior Gepstein Wins Kadar-Sheba Prize for Excellence in Research

The Kadar-Sheba Prize for Excellence in Research recognizes the most outstanding physician-researcher at Sheba Medical Center, honoring those who combine excellence in patient care with leadership in medical research. The annual $100,000 award—including a $75,000 research grant and a $25,000 personal honorarium—reflects the Foundation’s belief in the unique contribution of clinician-scientists, whose work bridges laboratory discovery and direct clinical impact.

Prof. Lior Gepstein, Director of Cardiology at Sheba, was honored

for his pioneering research in cardiac electrophysiology and regenerative medicine. His work on developing new systems for electrical mapping of the heart has transformed approaches to treating arrhythmias and advanced understanding of heart function.

The Kadar-Sheba Prize continues to highlight and support physician-researchers whose dual roles with patients and in the lab drive innovation and top level care across the field.
